In this project, the Madison Education Partnership (MEP) brings together (a) teachers and administrators supporting the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) four-year old kindergarten (4K) program and (b) researchers from the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER) to design a professional development series for 4K teachers. To ensure the professional development series is relevant and impactful for 4K teachers, we set out to understand current instructional practices through classroom observations and focus groups with teachers. This report summarizes our findings and makes recommendations to guide professional development practices for 4K teachers. (author abstract)
